Congrats on graduating. That’s gotta feel good. Then an epic trip on top of that.
Great work. Thanks for posting a report and letting us know.

“I don’t think it mattered what you threw at them they were hitting it, it was insane!”
Hell yes. That’s what I’m talking about. Just find them biting in the first place and everything will be so much easier. Good job moving and finding them.
“Also I wasn’t sure what these little fish were that were in a few of them?”
Looks like croakers, which is a common forage this time of year. They hang out on reefs and in corners of bayous, deep holes, etc.
So now you know where else to look to find them
Great report, great work, thank you for posting!

“I know nothing about the area, little about the tackle, less about tides and salinity affects on fish activity.”
I hate to sound like a broken record, but all that is covered in detail inside Inshore Fishing 101. The fastest, quickest way I can possibly impart all of that knowledge to you is inside that course. You can skip to the part you want about tackle or whatever, but of course I recommend to take the whole thing from beginning to end.
“The guide said Louisiana inshore was even better”
That’s very nice of him. Florida has great inshore fishing, so I’m honored that he would say that. But consider that the reason you were catching is because you were with a guide. He already did all the leg work, all you had to do was go.
I think it’s a mighty high expectation to go to the west side of Louisiana and do well without a guide. I think you should hire a guide, and if you want to learn how to do it yourself, then you need to pore over Inshore Fishing 101, use this forum and be ready to work your ass off. Things like hazards to navigation are going to be a threat without a guide.
If you don’t want to learn everything I know to catching fish, because that’s a lot of work, then you need to go with a guide. Otherwise, I think you’re about to get humbled and you’ll be lucky if you get out without a busted lower unit or worse.
Lastly, I’ll tell you that the east side of the state has more real estate and, consequently, more fish. You want to be staying some place like Grand Isle or Delacroix. Just a note for the future.

Excellent work. Good job staying local and just having fun in the first place. You gotta be really proud of her.
Great report, thanks for sharing!

Well, she did the right thing. The Coast Guard, in my somewhat uninformed opinion, shoulda flown a bird out there to look. If you’re hanging on to an overturned boat, you’re not taking a phone call, right?

This is great lmao

No problem.
Yeah, if you had more time you would’ve crushed the daylights out of the fish. This fishing trip is a giant win, you know what the pattern is and where to go.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Well, that’s a good wifey, but also did the Coast Guard really just call your phone? Like, that’s it? What the hell?!
What’s next? You get a text message like “u good”

I think this is great advice. Boyce is spot on.
With that said, your biggest challenge is going to be safely navigating the area. It does not set up like reservoirs on the Tennessee River or wherever else across America where you can plug in a Lakemaster chip, adjust for water level and automagically see all the shallow water.
No, there’s new land, sunken pilings, oil field trash, sand bars, and more to ruin your day or worse.
I’ve got a whole chapter dedicated to this very thing inside 101.
